Honestly that makes me wonder why he won't eat at the Heart Attack Grill while he's in Vegas, since some of his recipes have more calories, fat and salt than the Quadruple Bypass Burger.
As was mentioned, he wants us to believe that he’s being a responsible,
admirable adult and dieting. Regardless of the fact that his broadcasted behavior proves otherwise, he still likes to cling to the idea because there are some (few, but some) people who believe he’s actually dieting, and he likes feeling that he’s above them. That’s the choir he’s preaching to in the hopes of getting asspats to have SOMETHING to feel good about. Going to the HAG would shatter that poorly constructed image even among that strongly autistic, yet important audience.
I mean, I could see him going, just not videotaping it (shit,
I’m planning on going when I take my upcoming first trip to Vegas). He’s just a little self-conscious to tape himself exhibiting embarrassing behavior, which is strange when you consider how much of that he’s already put out there. HAG just thrives on a certain type of embarrassing, though. I assume Jack would weigh in in the hopes of getting free food, and those who qualify are basically notified of that in front of the whole restaurant- the scale is elevated in the middle of the dining room and is hooked up to a loud alarm. The owner claims that it’s like that by design, to embarrass the patron and coax them into seeing the error of their ways. The guy even says that giving someone a heart attack is doing them a service, as it’ll motivate them to be more health-conscious and wary of their lifestyle. The “well-meaning” M.O. of this guy is so dark, yet perfect. It’s just a cover for his true intentions which are to make money and laugh at deathfats. Pure marketing genius.
I've gotten in the habit now of imagining every Jack and Tammy picture on FB being used for the inevitable "So sad to announce Jack is being hospitalized for COVID-19 complications" post three months from now.
Part of me feels that they would keep a Jack COVID hospitalization quiet out of fear of this thread’s reaction, but nah- these people are so shameless and narcissistic (not to mention christfags that unironically believe in prayer) that they’d keep us up to date. Those FaceBook follies are so predictable and follow a common trajectory, as I’ve noticed having read through a bunch of them:
1.) “So-and-so is in the ICU with COVID. Not on a vent just regular 02 cannula, yay! Prayers plz.”
-several days of good progress reports follow-
2.) “So-and-so didn’t have a good night. The 02 levels keep falling. Prayers plz.”
3.) “Prayers plz. So-and-so took a turn for the worse. Intubation was the best option (more copium and reminisces). Prayers plz again.”
-several days of sometimes stable, sometimes worsening condition updates-
4.) “So-and-so’s 02 levels are still in bad shape, even with the vent at full power. They’re going to try ECMO for the best chance of survival. Prayers plz.”
5.) “So-and-so went home to be with jeebus.”
